Doom 4, which is expected to be the next big first-person shooter from seasoned developer id Software, seems to be headed to both Sony and Microsoft’s next-generation consoles.

Lead programmer Brian Harris hinted at the game’s development through, of course, his Twitter account. His Linkedin has him down as the lead behind Doom 4 until January 2012, when he moved over to Doom 3 BFG. A single Tweet seems to suggest that he’s now back on the game.

“Currently home taking care of a new baby girl,” Harris said when asked about his current work situation. 

“When I get back, I’ll help port the big project to new platforms.”

While he never actually typed out “Doom 4,” his Tweet makes it sound like he’s moving that game from current gen to what’s coming next. So, it may be a launch title that straggles the technological fence.

We’ll have to just wait and see if this comes be at a later date.

Can't wait to play it. I know Doom 3 has its detractors, but I thought it was the best in the series. I'm excited to play 4, no matter what platform.

pretty weak rumor considering he didn't confirm WHICH platforms lol. Also NEW does not mean next gen, if they started on PC only porting to a new platform could be ps3 and 360.

I think it´s almost certain by now.

Doomed!

Jolly... another FPS. Can never have enough of those...

I couldn't agree more with your literal statement.

Most likely not enough power.

Anyway it seems like a weak rumor, it doesn't even mention it's next gen platform (PS4 or 720), so it could be still PS3 and 360 port.

So the Wii U is not Doomed?

it makes sense for Doom 4 to be a cross gen title. Carmack said it would target 30fps on PS360 and also that they would be showing the PC a bit more love than with RAGE due to the franchise having PC roots.

That sets the stage for 60fps Doom 4 with PC bells and whistles on next gen hardware.
